I wasn't sure which blog category these should come under.
Art, general life, or Post-mat.
I opted for the last as I think they are just such a perfect example of odd wool usage; also they would survive any form of apocalypse and still be around in the true age of Post-Mat.
A lovely friend brought them round knowing I would wish to photograph, and immortalise them on a blog. She was given them by an elderly lady, whose life mission is to knit. Hot water bottle covers, bed throws, baby clothes and slippers . . .this pair are called Fifi and Mitzi and were, in some previous life, poodles, skipping on jewelled leads on the Champs Élysées.
Very grand looking slippers...my husband's grandmother made them for everyone for Christmas and the tradition continues. My neighbor, a young post-materialist guy, is crocheting gifts right now for upcoming holiday gifts.
